Nice job on both projects. Especially like the colors on the deer and Christmas tree piece.
News: Had a couple issues with the forum today. 1/19/2017. I believe I have them corrected now. Let me know if you have any trouble. Thanks.

This is a Jim Blume pattern I cut using Pegas 2/0 and #1 spiral blades. The project is 1/4 maple plywood with a 1/4 pine backer board. The project was stained with Minwax Natural and the entire project was sprayed with 4 coats of gloss poly sanded between each coat. The frame is from framing material I had on hand.

General Scroll Saw Talk / Re: WEN LL2156 21-Inch 1.6-Amp Variable Speed Parallel Arm Scroll Saw
« on: September 22, 2021, 03:08:06 pm »
I have the WEN 3922. The LL2156 came out about a month after I purchased mine unfortunately. I have several WEN products and they have held up well as a hobbiest/weekend user. I'm not sure about the blade clamp on the LL2156 but I've had trouble with the 3922. Looking at the pictures on the WEN website, it does look like they have changed their clamping system. I've ordered blade clamps to replace mine as well as a bellows for the blower. The one on the saw split and wouldn't blow the dust. I was able to super glue where it had split and it is working until I get the replacement. I actually got the bellows replaced under the warranty. I simply sent in my info as to when I purchased the saw, the order number and the part number of the bellows. There was no questions and the next day I received an email that the bellows had been shipped.
For the money, I don't think you could go wrong with the LL2156. I would consider it the upper end of an entry level scroll saw at a reasonable price. I don't think it would compare with a Pegas or Seyco but then again, you're only paying a third of what those saws would cost. I will say I would have selected the LL2156 had it been available when I purchased my saw... but that's just my luck.

Nice job, Bluebird. I cut the one with the sailboat. Planning on doing a lighthouse series when time permits. You did a fantastic job on all of them!

Hello Lew3. Welcome to the forum. Unfortunately I'm on the other side of the country in North Carolina. This forum is an excellent place to ask questions about scroll sawing as well as sharing your projects. Take a look around. The members are great and always willing to help.

I finally ran across some better material. This is one of Steve's patterns cut from 1/4 inch BB with Pegus #3MGT. They were stack cut and finished with natural and red pine Minwas stain. They were finished with four coats of gloss with light 350 grit sanding between coats. Must say I was much happier with the final finish than I was with my last project.

« on: July 26, 2021, 02:00:43 pm »Beautiful work Rodney. This must have taken a good deal of time.Thanks DanO. Yes, probably about 8 hours just cutting time. But I must say that my wife has added to the project and made it much more appealing. She's pretty darn good with a brush and paints and went to work. Attached is the final outcome. I give all the credit for an attractive piece to her!
